it's purposely misspelled so he and other 'poorly educated' (that he loves so much) can read it.

Fake and written by a right winger and deliberately misspelled to say the real idiots are the lefties that wrote it.

It means genius, you ididot.

Still totally applies!

In Russia, a couple years ago, a dude was holding a banner on the street saying "хуйло" (huilo) and nothing else. The police arrested him and when he complained that he doesn't have any names on the banner the policeman responded with "it’s perfectly obvious to everyone who huilo is".

For everybody else as confused as I was it apparently means “dickhead”.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well yes, but actually no. It doesn't really have a translation. The core of the word "хуй" is penis/dick for sure, but the suffix "-ло" in this case doesn't really translate to anything, just adds spice.

Ok so that leaves it up for some artistic license like

  • dickcheese
  • dickbrain
  • dickgobbler

... I could keep going

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps I should have specified, the article I found did say “…most often translated as ‘dickhead’”. Which makes sense to me given what you said and English slang.

That's hilarious! I had no idea about huielaw.com.

As an addendum, everyone now knows who "he was an idiot" refers to also.

86 is a number that commonly means "get rid of"

W h a t

Edit:

Like numerology, I guess?

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's used in restaurants often (in the U.S.). If you are out of the chicken dish, for instance, a chef may say "86 the chicken" to a server to make sure they inform anyone before they place an order for it.

Source: worked in restaurants for several years.

Or being 86ed from a bar means you're no longer welcome there.

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

86 used in that context is pretty common in my neck of the woods.

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fair, I never heard it in England

So seems like 20th century American slang. TIL.

Orange paedo.

Who am I talking about?
